Description Doug Laidlaw 2011-05-05 03:11:36 CEST

Description of problem:
Running the nouveau driver with a 210 card, Xscreensaver was giving me about 1.5 fps.  Installing the nvidia driver from the repos fixed it.  It wasn't always that bad, but I have no further detail.  It was mentioned on the mailing list to report these differences.  My card is so new that under Mandriva,until a week ago, I had to use the Nvidia driver from backports, not the one from the release.  I assumed that the nouveau driver will be closer to the released Nvidia driver, and I accepted its deficiencies.  The present distro release has deficiencies, but a useful bug report should await the next version.

(Afterthought: this may impact on Bug 1143.)

This may be a false alarm.  I have downloaded and installed the latest NVidia driver.  I am having no problems except when logged in as my default user, with the Xfce desktop.  As myself, I can use KDE O.K, and as anybody else, I can use Xfce as well.  It sounds like a corrupted setting in a dotfile.

This bug is old, and changes in Cauldron were huge. Please re-open it if it is still there.
